Greenland Ice May Be Melting Faster Than Predicted

Reuters - Innovations Video Online (Dec. 16, 2014)  Scientists say sea levels may rise faster than previously thought as they gain new insights about the rate at which the Greenland Ice Sheet melts into the sea. In two new studies, researchers found that the mechanics involved in ice loss are more complex than what current models account for. Ben Gruber reports.
